The West Bank - "A man approached me as tears welled in and out of my eyes; he lent on the gate of his house and greeted me in English." “Why are you so sad?” he asked.
“Because of the wall” I said flatly,
“This wall is right across from my house and I am not sad. For 20 years of my life I played football in the field on the other side and now I see only the wall, but if I lose my happiness then they have won.”
“How can you live with this wall right here?”
“The Berlin Wall fell and this will too.”
I smiled, disbelief at the undying optimism. What on earth was this place? @luceyourself // this photo - #Banksy painted the walls of #Gaza and still to this day no one knows how he got there. Imitations of his work are littered through the #WestBank #Palestine // link in bio to more of #Luceyourself extraordinary story through the Middle East
